He may be in trouble with Big Bartending by releasing this super-secret info. We all know what happens to stoolies...
The funny part is that he asked them at 6:00 yesterday evening and it’s still open. The mods are laughing at him, we’re laughing at him. Raven should have warned him: “They’re all going to laugh at you.”
Maybe somebody should just mail a copy of this to Bukowski’s. I’m sure EVERYBODY in that joint knows who this clown is.
Unbelievable! I thought liberals were supposed to care about the working poor. If Pitt's really worried about the loss of income tax revenue, someone should explain to him that the money these people receive in tips was given to them by someone who already paid income tax on that money (just like his trust fund). Unfortuanely, DUmmies don't think like that, so he'll never understand.
Ladies and gentlemen be sure to tip your waitress and bartender generously, and then report them to the IRS.
Oboy, remember how mad he was when "someone" called Ty the Bouncer about Pitt's lesson in politics? If Ty bounces his sorry ass out of Bukowski's, he'll be fit to be tied. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
Of course he does, he is a communist.

“I just asked the mods to lock this”
People are criticizing me! Make them stop! Silence them! Silence them!
True to liberal form.
I'm more and more convinced that pitt is an idiot. Tax revenues collected set new records every year. Where does he get his stupid ideas?
Shoot. They must not be working very hard. I know a couple bartenders who only work Spring/Summer and make 6 figures. Spend their winters in Costa Rica. Own multiple houses. Been doing this for years. Hard work pays.
It may be possible that the barkeep at Bukowski’s said something to the Pittster regarding his parsimony.
Pitt may already be in dutch with the bartender because he is too cheap to tip well. Here he uses his “personal bully-pulpit” to deliver a backhanded-btch-slap to the “uppity servile drone” that schlepps his beers.
Why, the punk should be happy Pitt even shows up to purchase an evening of foggy-headedness let alone leave a fair and equitable gratutity. Why he is just being appropriately niggardly.
My first job was at Steak'N'Egg Kitchen, back in 74 - we each had a slip that we had to fill out each day for tips. On my very first shift, I knew no better than to fill it out honestly. The manager took it back from me and changed the tip amount down by about 60%. This was long before the automatic percentage declaration the IRS inflicts now.
Nowadays, when paying by plastic, I put the 7% tip that the IRS assumes on the card, then add some cash on the side.
Well, that would explain a lot. I did not know Pitt had hydrocephalus.
Even had Pitt's latest drug-addled rant not been as factually flawed as his alcohol-ravaged brain, I don't get it. Did he want armed agents of the IRS to break down the doors of waitrons (heh) everywhere and confiscate the piles of cash in their dresser drawers? And, on what planet do the W-2's of waitrons reflect $2.15/hour in wages? Is that the same planet inhabited by those giant squid featured in another past DUFU classic?

[snip] This past Saturday’s Democratic Party radio address... was provided by one Fawn Townsend, a self-described waitress and minimum wage earner from Raleigh, North Carolina. In her speech, Miss Townsend lauded the Democratic Party for listening to the cries of the American electorate and finally passing an increase in the national minimum wage... Fawn promised to buy a used car, move out of the house of friends where she has been staying and live independently. She also proclaimed this “raise” would allow her to take up the study of nursing. According to her, all this will be accomplished only because the Democratic Party was able to beat back those greedy Republicans and secure for her a raise of seventy cents per hour... What Miss Townsend seems to have missed was the fact that seventy cents ($.70) per hour over a forty hour work week will reap the new minimum wager an increase of only twenty eight dollars ($28.00) a week. That translates into a potential gross raise of $1456 per year before taxes and not $4,400 as she claimed in her address to the nation. This is $2944 dollars short of what she is expecting... Tips are considered basic wages and waiters are an exempt class. Putting aside state law, her bosses are only required to pay her $2.13/hr and not the new minimum wage of $5.85.
What Miss Townsend is also missing is that the restaurant will now schedule seven waitresses for the shift instead of eight, so she’ll be working that much harder to cover for the waitress who isn’t there.
And just how is it Pitt is so familiar with the contents of all these bartender's dresser contents? Spending a lot of time in their bedrooms?
Hmm, sounds more like a benburch issue.............
"thus, we have less money each year to fund highway and infrastructure maintenance, public schools, emergency response people, health programs…and basically every other tax-supported thing in America besides warfare and space shuttles."
followed by
"That’s tens of thousands of dollars annually earned in tips by professional waitstaffers/bartenders, give or take, and pretty much all of it is undeclared and therefore untaxed.
He ain't the sharpest knife in drawer, now, is he?
